It's just because we (Amiga users from the past) are hitting that age-group where we long for any aspect of our youth :-) I'm guessing most Amiga users are in the 25-35 year range.
I guess there are many of us hitting the 30 year mark these days and 30 is retro "I miss being a kid" nostalgia time! :-)
I'm 60. Amiga is the only computer I feel completely involved in. I would never think of treating a pc the way I have my Amigas, taking them apart, putting them back together, monkeying with hardware and software. I'm not a techno but folks have told me I know a lot more about computers than I let on. I can only thank the simple machine. By thinking how an Amiga works I can sometimes figure out what is going on in pcs. At least I used to be able to. My tech has said I'm one of the very few of his clients who actually tries to figure out any problems before I take it to him.
It's like my old Karman Ghia. I understood its mechanics. I don't know what to think about current cars with their computer operations. That is, of course, the hope of auto manufacturers. It keeps down the shade tree mechanics and you've got to take the car somewhere with a diagnostic computer.
